So the fun continues

So where are things right now?

Xmas was spent with glittersavvy  at home. We exchanged presents. Sam had got me an amusing book on being a modern gentleman while I had got Sam a a pair of earrings from Azendi to go with her necklace. The rest of the day was general monging out in front of the box eating posh chocolates. I had also got from glittersavvy's mother a copy of the new version of Changeling, which I am only now just delving into and looking forward to running in the future. At least I only need to get the Hunter core book and I have the whole lot allowing me to run what I like and do epic crossover games.

The next day was of course the sales and glittersavvy  picked up a nice new dress while I found some new silver trousers in H&M and some new tops from Nike (yes that is right, Nike). Later that evening we went round to her mum's and had xmas dinner and opened even more presents from her aunts. It was kinda weird to be getting presents from soon to be relatives that I have only met a few times. One was a book that went with the DVD series about Venice which we have, another was a journal that I have now started to write in as I feel it is appropriate to keep one now that my life in a new phase.

More recently we hd new year at home, with trashkitty  joining us for the whimper of a bang that was new year. And of course the next day, considering the boredom that would have been, we all made are way across the road to the cinema to watch The Spirit. Amusing, unexpected, tongue in cheek, hilarity, and just wacky fights. All decent and well done and it was a nice film that just didn't take itself seriously.

So now we are two weeks from the expected move. I have to submit my thesis (very last corrections and things to be done) and of course a hell of a lot of documentation to be done so the guys in the group can continue after I am gone. The party is this Friday and it not only celebrates getting the new job, leaving my birthday, but also the forthcoming wedding in Venice. This year has just sped by. It's been hard, really hard at times, but worth it. But I am glad now to see the back of 2008.

No now we only have the fun with the estate agents. Bastards is all I will say. But fuck it, I've made it. This time in two months I will be in a new town, new flat, married and in new job. But, as Quark would say;

The more things change... the more they stay the same.
